[1.] One line summary of the problem
Toshiba 1800-100 linux-2.6.x Driver for the SMC Infrared Communications
Controller does not work

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
Well, I've not much more to sat than what I've said in the one line
summary. I've a Toshiba 1800-100 and I've tried all the latest versions
of the 2.6.x kernel. The IRDA port doesn't work.
Reading the dmesg output obtained from a 2.6.7-rc3 monolitic kernel:

found SMC SuperIO Chip (devid=0x5a rev=00 base=0x002e): LPC47N227
smsc_superio_flat(): IrDA not enabled
smsc_superio_flat(): fir: 0x00, sir: 0x00, dma: 15, irq: 0, mode: 0x02
ali_ircc_probe_53(), No DMA channel assigned !
ali-ircc, Wrong chip version ff

I've tried to pass the following options as read on the
irda.sourceforge.net site:

ircc_dma=3 ircc_irq=7 ircc_cfg=0x2e ircc_sir=0x2e8 ircc_fir=0x2f8

Then I've tried with those given by windows:
ircc_irq=10 ircc_dma=1
(I've not understand how to use the I/O intervals: 02E8-02EF, 0110-0117)

It simply doesn't want to work.

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:

I've tried to contact directly Daniele Peri some time ago but I've not
received any reply. Then I tried to contact irda-user list, but the list doesn't accept any external mail and don't let me subscribe to the list.
As latest resource I have decided to write here.
As other notes I can only say that the Toshiba
Satellite 1800-100 has a lot of trouble under linux. ACPI is not fully
supported, the trident framebuffer driver give some psichedelic effects,
the internal modem does not work, and this: the irda don't work.
If somebody have succesfully configured a toshiba 1800-100, please
contact me at this address: nahidesafe-linux at yahoo dot it
(I'm sorry for my not very good english)
